Hiking On Mobry Mountain with Chia

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

Hi, It me, Chia! I finally got to go somewhere with Mom that no one else got to go. Mom took just me in the car and we went on an adventure!! So I asked her to share it with all my friends here. She said Nature Friday would be the perfect place, so here we are. Hope you’re here too!!!

Y’all know who Miss Jentry is, right? She’s my favorite person in the whole world!!! She asked Mom to go hiking with her, so brother Andrew tagged along (it was going to be a girls’ hike, but that’s ok, we love Andrew too.) We went to a nearly mountain, only about 15 minutes from our house. It’s called Mobry Mountain and is part of the Appalachian chain. I’m told it’s a small mountain, as mountains go, but it sure looked big to me!

For the hike I got to wear 2 different harnesses with 2 different leashes. Mom said it’s cause she loves me, and that it’s fashionable, but I think it’s cause I slipped my harness and ran the neighborhood the other day during a walk. We weren’t really walking when it happened…Mom was visiting with Miss Pam just up the road and didn’t notice when real fast-like I turned around and pulled the harness up over my head. She noticed as soon as the harness hit the ground, but I was already in full run mode by then. Just thought I’d explain in case you noticed that in the pictures.

OK, back to our hike. *tail wags*. We drove up the mountain, but not to the top. A good ways up there was a park with a hiking trail. All the peeps took turns holding onto my leash(es).

We hiked through the woods for a while. I didn’t even pull on my leash(es)! This was all so different for me. I’d never been taken hiking before. Mom wouldn’t go near the edge of this drop-off. She’s ascared of heights. And I stayed away from it too with Miss Jentry.

If you look close at his next picture, you can see the alligator rock laying on another rock.

Way in the background on the left you can see the two towers at the nuclear power plant that’s just a few miles from where we live. When Mom had her pontoon boat, she would sometimes go up there, cause it sits right on the Tennessee River. The water was always much warmer there, and once she saw a fish with 3 eyes!! (Mom never went in the water near there.)

Then we got into an area that had a great big ship embedded in the rock. We all walked through the cutout in the huge rock.

Here I am with bro Andrew. I’ve hear that there’s a place called Fat Man’s Squeeze up at Rock City that’s a lot like this.

I finally got to the other side and got to walk with Miss Jentry.

I guess that’s it for the story of my first hike. I sure hope I get to go hiking again! Oh, hey, Thanks to Sunny (and Rosy) of The LLB Life for hosting Nature Friday!

  2. No, Ma’am. Mom found at the bottom of the harness pile another harness that is made different and it seems to be working good. But I haven’t really tried… XOXOXOX Chia
    Mobry Mountain is just west of Soddy Daisy, only about 10 minutes from where we live. It is near Georgia, and just south of Signal Mountain. The Carolinas are the other direction. Google it if you want, and you’ll find lots of pictures and info on Mobry Mountain.

  3. I’ve never heard of Mobry Mountain before!! Is it west of Chattanooga toward North Carolina? I’ll have to check it out the next time I’m up that way. Thanks for mentioning it!! Since you slipped out of your harness is your mom going to get you one of those escape-proof harnesses? If so, request that it be in your favorite color. At least it will look pretty, right? lol!!

  5. Java Bean: “Ayyy, what a great hike, Chia! Our Dada says that reminds him of the places he and Mama used to hike in the Adirondacks many years ago back in New York.”
    Lulu: “Also, Dada very much approves of bro Andrew’s orange shirt!”

  7. Hi Sunny. I’m sorry you can’t go hiking. It’s a hoot! Oh, and Mom found another harness at the bottom of our harness box by the front door that I haven’t been able to slip out of (so far). XOXOX Chia

  10. It was a little too different for me to want to run off, maybe over a cliff!! Besides, Miss Jentry was with me and we had a nail appointment scheduled for later. (You should see my pretty painted nails!) XOXOX Chia

  16. Wow, what a great place to hike and with all your favorite peeps. Well done, Chia. So glad you didn’t slip any harnesses this time! Here’s hoping you get to hike again soon, especially if it’s so close to your house.

  17. What a wonderful place to hike in, Chia,and we loved hiking virtually with you!

    We have Kurgo harnesses, and we’ve never been able to slip out of them, maybe your Mommy needs to check them out? They are also able to be used as travel safety harnesses as they have a loop that ou can add and then fasten to the seatbelt.
